Ingredients

Scale

Steak Seasoning Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Measure Your Ingredients: Gather all your spices and measure them precisely to ensure a perfect balance in every batch of the seasoning mix.
  2. Combine in a Bowl: Mix the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried herbs, and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl until evenly blended.
  3. Store Properly: Transfer the seasoning mix to an airtight container or jar. Label it for easy access whenever you want to season your steaks.
  4. Apply to Steak: Before grilling, pat your steak dry and coat both sides with the seasoning, pressing lightly so it adheres. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow deeper flavor penetration.
  5. Grill and Enjoy: Grill your steak to your preferred doneness and savor the rich, robust flavors imparted by this signature seasoning blend.

Notes

  • Freshness matters: Use freshly ground black pepper and quality kosher salt for the best flavor impact.
  • Balance your heat: Adjust cayenne pepper slowly to avoid overpowering your steak’s natural taste.
  • Coarse vs. fine salts: Coarser salt adds texture and crust; fine salt dissolves inward. Choose based on your preference.
  • Rest time is key: Let the seasoned steak sit before cooking to let the flavors sink in deeply.
  • Don’t over-season: A light, even coat is enough to bring the perfect flavor without masking the beef.
